The Online Courses site is featuring a handy basic guide to understanding what Title IX is and isn't, and how Title IX applies to athletes. It still amazes me how those who least understand Title IX talk the most about it, so convinced are they that the law has "destroyed" sports. And there are some schools that go to great lengths to defy the law.
Here is a transcript of the recent ESPN SportsNation chat with world number 1 Caroline Wozniacki.
Sabine Lisicki leads in service speed this season. She hit a 125 mph serve in Stanford.

Coach David Taylor talks about Sam Stosur's slide out of the top 10 (story via On the Baseline).
